Triple J Hottest 100 of 2025 Predictions

We have expert betting tips for the Triple J Hottest 100, which ranks the best song on the Australian music charts.

All the rage is Olivia Dean’s Man I Need, which is a certified banger, and the current $1.20 favourite. However, punters can get on a market without Man I Need, so there is good value available.

Best Bet

Keli Holiday’s Dancing2 is a $5 chance to beat the favourite, and although the safer bet is the $1.75 for Dancing2 to win without Man I Need, we’re picking an upset.

The Australian, who gained fame on TikTok for Dancing2, is a good chance of getting the nod. He’s a local artist, and although he has just over 9000 followers on YouTube, his following on social media is much bigger.

We live in a time when songs gain massive traction on TikTok, and although Man I Need gets some serious radio play, Dancing2 could see the Triple J Hottest 100 move into a younger generation, so pick the local artist to score an upset win.

Next Best

The indie scene is headlined by Perth locals Tame Impala, who often feature in the top 10 of the Triple J Hottest 100. This year, the boys have Dracula favoured in betting markets at $8, which is a good price from bookmakers.

Dracula had steady radio play, and it was another song doing the rounds on social media platforms. It’s the way many artists get their songs to the youth, and it could result in a top finish on the Triple J list.

It’s a $2.25 chance without Olivia Dean, which is also worth sinking your teeth into.

Best Value

Raye burst onto the scene in 2025 with WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! and although we don’t usually like songs with all caps, it’s a great song.

The emotionally charged banger enjoyed plenty of time in the top 10 of the charts, and that could be enough to see it land a top 3 spot on the Triple J Hottest 100.

The results never go quite as expected, and this song has a good chance of causing an upset. Punters get $2.30 for a top 3 finish, which is worth including in multis.

Best Upset

No, it’s not Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know, but you’d be confused for thinking so. Doechii’s Anxiety samples Gotye’s (feat Kimbra) number one song, and although it’s not close to the original, it was a big hit.

It’s also a good chance of winning the most annoying song of 2025, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t win Triple J’s Hottest 100 song. It’s a song that sticks in your head, and the $61 odds makes it a worthwhile inclusion in picks.
